Two people are in jail in separate incidents in Washoe County on firearm and drug-related charges, according to the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office.

In the first case, deputies responded on Thursday night to a Reno neighborhood near Timothy Drive and Holcomb Ranch Lane after receiving reports of a suspicious person seen near the side of a home.

Following an investigation, deputies arrested 45-year-old Richard Reynoso. He faces felony charges of possession of a firearm by a prohibited person, carrying a concealed weapon without a permit, and possession of methamphetamine.

In a separate incident, sheriff’s deputies arrested a woman following a traffic stop early Saturday morning.

Authorities say they stopped 32-year-old Amber Nicole Sam on East 4th Street near Sutro Street and later booked her into jail on a felony charge of possession of a firearm by a prohibited person. She also faces charges of possession of burglary tools and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Officials have not released details about what led to the traffic stop.
